Development

Follow steps below if you want to start coding.

Prerequisites

If you want avoid nodejs on your machine use docker to build project inside container.

Install nodejs

https://nodejs.org/en/download/

Environment setup

Clone repository

git clone https://github.com/alan-null/sc_ext.git

Install node modules

npm install

Build project

npm run build

Run watch task if you want dynamic code rebuild in the background

npm run watch

Development - one click

If you are tired of downloading all those modules there is a quicker way.

Open PowerShell Console and run following code:

@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin
choco install nodejs.install -y
choco install git.install -y
choco install visualstudiocode -y
choco install googlechrome -y

git clone https://github.com/alan-null/sc_ext.git
npm install

If needed remove unnecessary choco packages.

Development - docker

Prerequisites

Install docker

Build

Connect to a node container

.\.devcontainer\run.ps1

Run build command inside container

node@21dc36488c7b:/data/app$ npm run build

node_modules are shared between host and container. Container was introduced only to exclude need of having node installed.
